Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire commissioned a Force Medical Officer service. The requirement is classified as services, with the item described under CPV 98390000, covering other services. Delivery spans England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and crime oversight in Leicestershire. The service is intended to provide medical officer support to the police force. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The appointed provider is PUROSEARCH LIMITED, an SME based in Droylsden.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. A direct award was made to PUROSEARCH LIMITED for continuation of services. The award date was 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 20 August 2026. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 25 August 2027, with one optional 12-month extension available, giving a maximum end date of 25 August 2028. The awarded value is £344,425.46 excluding VAT, or £413,310.55 including VAT. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold. There was one lot and one active award. A standstill period ended on 24 August 2026. The procurement method and rationale indicate that the buyer used a direct award specifically to continue existing services.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for Force Medical Officer provision within policing and public-sector operations, delivered across England. Suppliers considering comparable work should be able to provide a dependable medical officer service and demonstrate that they can maintain continuity for an operational public authority. The buyer accepted a direct continuation arrangement, so a future competitor would need a clear account of its service model, mobilisation approach and ability to sustain delivery without disruption. The single-lot structure shows that the requirement was treated as one integrated service rather than divided into specialist packages. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of those types can be commercially relevant if they can meet the service requirement and operate at the required national scale.
